I picked it up from Barton L postings. Good to see you again. "Mind the pedestrian, Richard" says, Hyacinth — and I do. The German Branch of BARTHEN/BARTEN/BARTON is very much alive and kicking. Since we last talked we now have a list of 250 currently existing American cousins (all descendants of Johannes Barthen and Susannah 'Hower' Barton of Lieser, Prussia) and they are now scattered all over the world. We have a firm trace on the line back to 1632 in the Mosel Valley Ger. And I'm proud to say we have organized the first international convention of these descendants at Branson MO. next Aug 12 — 15. I have updated your E. Mail address in my files. And finally I now have a significant nephew, his wife, Cindy (who is in line for the next presidency of S.W.Bell) and his MENSA daughter Rachel who is making his home currently in Dripping Springs, TX. He is my brothers number 1 son, Charles Robert Barton, Jr. and is on line as cbarton@swbet.net. Charles is busy researching the David Crockett connection. Martha Jane Crockett was my Grandfather Sebastian Barton's wife. They lived in S.W. City, MO. and raised a large family starting soon after the American Civil war. My Dad was their last male child. Best wishes in all your research. John Barton P. S. If a reply is sent use the CLEAR CHANNEL E. Mail — Twoputt222@aol.com
